Before you open the editor
Write one sentence: who sees this and what they should do. Everything in the layout should serve that sentence.
The checklist
- 1. Size Match platform pixels (1080×1080 feed, 1080×1920 Stories). Set this first in Poster AI Creator.
- 2. One hero Headline or product—not both fighting for attention.
- 3. Type limit Two font roles max: display + body.
- 4. Color job One dominant, one accent. Pull hex codes from your brand sheet.
- 5. Safe zone Keep copy out of the bottom 15% on vertical formats (UI covers it).
- 6. Mobile proof Squint test at thumbnail size. If you cannot read it, neither will anyone else.
- 7. CTA Verb + outcome: "Book Friday slots" beats "Learn more."
- 8. Brand repeat Same logo position and margin as your last three posts.
- 9. File weight Under 2 MB for Stories upload; compress if needed.
- 10. Version tag Name exports launch-v2.png so your team does not post the wrong draft.
Prompt pattern that works
"[Format] poster for [audience], headline [text], style [3 words], colors [hex or names], avoid [clutter/stock look]." Paste brand notes at the end of every prompt so the model stops guessing.
